Clarinet Fingerings with Playing and Diagram Examples - Throat Bb, Top G and more...

We catch up with Nicholas Carpenter (former Clarinet Principal London Philharmonic Orchestra) and discuss SELECTED (not all!) clarinet alternate fingerings.

We can't stress enough that there is no such thing as the 'right' and 'wrong' fingerings for certain notes in all situations. It can vary depending on the variables of player, instrument, mouthpiece and also the scenario. The trick is to get yourself familiar with the various options on your instrument and test the quality of these notes. Also practice using the different fingerings in certain circumstances depending on where you may be coming from.

In this video we discuss the throat Bb fingering compromises, the long Bb, the second register F# over the break and also the Top G. If you need to double check the fingerings just pause the video when the diagrams are showing.
